Favorites- all time

[aggiebug]

What if we tried to do a weekly favorites thread? Each week has a different category- genre, sentiment etc and we share our favorites.


This week I say we start of with your all time favorite books. I know it's been discussed before but where else would you start this type of weekly discussion?

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

Totally, I just feel like I'm cheating by not picking just one. Though I'm obviously not alone in this.

This is hard but I will say:
Pride and prejudice
Little women
The other Boelyn girl (because it opened up all of historical fiction for me)

My two all time favorite series are Harry Potter and the Fever series (ending with Shadow fever).

Night by Elie Wiesel and The Hand maid's Tale by Atwood are two of my favorites that are also awful. If that makes sense. I think everyone should read them.

Little Women
To kill a mockingbird
The Catcher in the Rye
